On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with a light tan head. Aroma, smoky and malty. Flavor, smoky, peaty, some caramel, light chocolate hints, and some roasted notes, the smoke was quite well balanced.

On tap: Big smokey aroma much like a campfire. It’s a dark orangish-brown with some transparency and a small off-white head. The flavor starts with some faint sweetness (chocolate?) that quickly fades to a moderate smoked cheese finsih.

Draft... Clear, very dark, crimson lager with a small, creamy, khaki head. Hickory, campfire smoke aroma. Perfectly balanced flavor with lots of BBQ smoke. Low residual sweetness and light bitterness. Medium-bodied and thin with modest carbonation.

On tap at the brewery. Dark brown color with a firm tan head. Smoked malts aroma but it was very subdued. The smoke was evident in the taste, but again it was subtle. Along with the smoked malts, there was a hint of sweetness that came out in the end. This would be a good starter for someone who has not had any smoked beers.
